The Romsey School
Romsey, SO51 8ZB · Hampshire · secondary school
27th of 67 secondary schools in Hampshire we can score, 69 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 925 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.3/10 among them, against 5.2/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 48.3 · 61 | 30% | 1.84 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.13 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 46.8 · 56 | 10% | 0.56 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 48.3% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 46.8, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.13 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.3 out of 10 among them, against 5.2 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Drama Club, Robotics, Maths Challenge, Poetry Slam, Youth Speaks, LAMDA, and Business Enterprise. They participate in Sports Teams and visit the Mayflower Theatre, MAST Theatre, Lulworth Cove, Romsey Abbey, Bletchley Park, Paris, Nepal, and Iceland.
Getting in. The school has 1130 pupils in a capacity of 1173, leaving 43 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who fall behind in maths given the negative Progress 8 score? What specific support is available for students aiming for university places? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions for new year groups?
